Opening of Final Conference on Arms Trade Treaty

A view of the conference hall as Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon (third from left on dais) addresses the opening of the Final UN Conference on the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT), taking place in New York through 28 March 2013. He said that “the absence of the rule of law in the conventional arms trade defies explanation,” given that the world has “international standards regulating everything from t-shirts to toys to tomatoes.” Mr. Ban is flanked by Angela Kane (left), UN High Representative for Disarmament Affairs; and Peter Woolcott, President of the ATT Final Conference.
